Ning Fengzhi listened to Bi Zihan's words and a gentle smile appeared on his face. He was neither arrogant nor did he have the airs of a sect leader. He gave people a feeling of being kind to others.
" Jian Hen, you're being a bit modest. Since the Clear Sky Sect went into seclusion, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has become the new number one sect on the continent. But your Misty Rain Tower has only just risen and its foundation is still insufficient. Otherwise, the position of number one sect in the world would probably belong to your Misty Rain Tower."
Ning Fengzhi gestured for Bizi to sit down in front of him.
"There's no need for me to sit. I've come to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect only to find Sword Dao Chenxin. I've heard that Chen Xin has dedicated his life to the sword, and in terms of attack power, his Martial Soul, the Seven Kill Sword, is among the best on the continent. Therefore, I wish to have a sword duel with Chen Xin. I just don't know if Chen Xin has reached the level of intent. If he hasn't, then this duel is unnecessary." Bi Zihan fixed his gaze on Chen Xin, showing no intention of sitting down, his words brimming with arrogance.
Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin frowned, a feeling rising in their hearts: this kid was simply too arrogant to be true.
For a younger person to address an older person by their full name is an extremely disrespectful act, especially for Peak Douluo like Chen Xin.
If it were a Titled Douluo, it would be one thing to address him by his full name. But Bi Zihan is clearly not, and is just a young junior, yet he keeps calling him Chen Xin, clearly showing that he doesn't take him seriously.
"Boy, I haven't really seen any of your skills, but your arrogance is on full display. I reached the level of Intent many years ago, but whether you have reached that level is hard to say." Chen Xin looked at Bi Zihan in front of him, his eyes narrowing involuntarily.
"Words are no proof; let's see how it goes." Bi Zihan's gaze was also fixed on Chen Xin, his eyes filled with calm and indifference.
"Alright, let's test our level of intent." Chen Xin stepped forward, and his Martial Soul Ring in his hand: the Seven Kill Sword, yellow, purple, black...
A sharp, sword-like aura rose from his body.
Bi Zihan's Martial Soul appeared in his hand: the Sword of the Gods. Slaughter Sword Intent emanated from his body. The Sword of the Gods spun in his hand, its tip pointing at Chen Xin in front of him.
Two different sword intents clashed continuously in mid-air, as if trying to determine who was superior and who would win. Chen Xin and Bi Zihan stood still, staring at each other without moving.
Qian Renxue blinked as she looked at the Sword of the Gods in Bi Zihan's hand, thinking to herself, "Is this your second Martial Soul, Twin Martial Souls? You really have quite a few secrets."
Chen Xin and Bi Zihan gripped their longswords tightly, and their bodies moved almost simultaneously, their swords slashing down at each other without mercy.
Since the two were only testing their sword intent, neither of them used their Soul Power; they simply used their swordsmanship, sword intent, and physique to compete.
The two swords clashed, producing a series of crisp clanging sounds, their shadows flashing around them. The Seven Kill Sword Seven Kill Sword was powerful, but the Sword of the Gods was superior in both quality and attack power.
However, because Chen Xin possesses the physique of Peak Douluo, he is superior to Bi Zihan in both strength and speed, so the difference between the two is essentially negligible.
Bi Zihan unleashed a surge of Slaughter Sword Intent, and the Sword of the Gods in his hand slashed directly at Chen Xin's vital points. Where the Sword of the Gods struck, there was an invisible sword intent hidden within.
As Chen Xin lightly moved the Seven Kill Sword in his hand to block Bi Zihan's attack, he glanced at the place where the Sword of the Gods had struck. He had also reached the level of intent, so he could naturally feel the sword intent hidden within it.
Moreover, he could clearly feel that with each sword strike from Bi Zihan, the attack power increased slightly, and a hidden sword intent appeared around him.
"Interesting, but it's a pity your sword intent isn't pure. Trying to do too much at once will only lead to failure. Instead of trying to comprehend two sword intents at the same time, you should focus on comprehending one." Chen Xin said with some regret, but his Seven Kill Sword was not slow at all. While blocking Bi Zihan's attack, he seized the opportunity and launched his own offensive.
The Seven Kill Sword Intent emanated from his body, and it even showed a tendency to overwhelm the Slaughter Sword Intent.
Bi Zihan's offensive was interrupted. The moment the Seven Kill Sword and the Sword of the Gods collided, his body was forced to retreat backward. The sword intent hidden around him was also instantly destroyed by the Seven Kill Sword Intent.
"To be honest, you surprised me. I only reached the level of intent when I was over fifty, but you reached the level of intent at such a young age. This talent surprised me. It's a pity that you went astray. Your sword intent is not pure enough. If you can concentrate on comprehending a sword intent, your future is limitless."
"It's a pity that you've now condensed two sword intents, and two completely opposite ones at that. How can you continue on your own path?" Chen Xin's words were full of regret. If it were only one sword intent, at his age, he would truly be a prodigy.
However, if it is two kinds of sword intent, then it is different. Sword intent is inherently very difficult to reach its peak, and the difficulty of comprehending two kinds of sword intent is much greater than that of focusing on comprehending one kind.
Even according to his own estimation, Bi Zihan's artistic conception has reached its limit, and there is basically no room for further progress.
Bi Zihan steadied himself, ignoring what Chen Xin had said, and glanced in Qian Renxue's direction, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes. But soon he closed his eyes, activated the Guardian Sword Intent in his Consciousness Sea, and immersed his consciousness into the sword intent.
The iron chains that were originally used to lock away the seven emotions in my heart were covered with dense cracks, but as my consciousness sank into the sword intent, these dense cracks were being repaired at an extremely fast speed.
As the chains were fully repaired, Bi Zihan outside opened his eyes. His eyes were filled with indifference, and the aura emanating from his body was icy and chilling. A powerful sword intent emanated from his body, causing the Sword of the Gods in his hand to tremble slightly involuntarily.
Chen Xin, Ning Fengzhi, and Qian Renxue were all taken aback by Bi Zihan's transformation. They wondered what had happened, how he could have completely changed in just a few blinks of an eye.
